Jeong Eui-seok, the manager in charge of TRUETRUE of the software education team, said, "Previously, coding robots were released in the form specialized in either unplugged activity without a computer or EPL (Educational Programming Language) activity connected to the computer, and the price was high. The price to pay to prepare lessons was high, and the functions of different robots had to be learned, so the teachers felt burdened to prepare for class."

TRUETRUE is a robot solution developed in 2018 under the concept of "All-in-One Coding Robot" to solve this problem. Designed in consideration of size, weight, design, and function, TRUETRUE is considered as a character by children thanks to its cute design, so it raises concentration level.
